The characteristic function of the Kendall's rank correlation coefficient

The Kendall Rank Correlation Coefficient

The Kendall (1955) rank correlation coefficient evaluates the degree of similarity between two sets of ranks given to a same set of objects. This coefficient depends upon the number of inversions of pairs of objects which would be needed to transform one rank order into the other. In order to do so, each rank order is represented by the set of all pairs of objects (e.g., [a,b] and [b,a] are the...

Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient

Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Coefficient

• In this lesson, we will learn how to measure the coefficient of correlation for two sets of ranking. • The coefficient of correlation, r, measures the strength of association or correlation between two sets of data that can be measured. Sometimes, the data is not measurable but can only be ordered, as in ranking. • For example, two students can be asked to rank toast, cereals, and dim sum in ...

The Rank Correlation Coefficient as an Indicator of the Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient for Small Samples

On the basis of 2200 small (10-100) samples obtained from four random number populations, it is shown that the rank correlation coefficient, p, is 88 adequate a measure of concordance 88 the Pearson product-moment correlation, T. The samples were obtained by using pseudo-random linear and normal number generators for bivariate populations with expected correlation cC'efficientB, r~, of 0.0 and ...
